Mr.Green is a 57-year-old man with an aggressive prostate cancer. He is being cared by a nursing team at the oncology department of a public hospital in Brisbane, QLD, Australia. Mr. Green was diagnosed with prostate cancer seven years ago but declined medical and surgical therapy. He elected to seek other treatment and did not return to the urologist for seven years. Mr. Green is now suffering from anemia and hypoproteinemia. Following a series of diagnostic tests, it was determined that the cancer had metastasized to his bones, had expanded locally to his lymph nodes, and that the primary tumor was invading the bladder and partially blocking the left kidney. Mr. Green had many admissions over the course of two months for a variety of reasons. He was told on his most recent admission that he may only have four to six weeks to live after a cystoscopy revealed further extensive tumor growth. It was determined that further surgical or medical intervention would not be appropriate in this case and that a palliative care regimen was the next step. At this point, the patient informed the medical team that he had accepted the fact that he would die. Mr. Green pulled one of them aside and told the nurse that he intended to commit suicide and that it was a secret that the nurse must not to reveal to anyone. Write the possible alternatives in this case.
